ST PATRICK'S DAY, MARCH 17
County Cork, Ireland. Tourists come to kiss the Blarney Stone
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

May you always have walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire.
